Lake sayings for cups

Now I get that Hip hop in India is largely based on what the artists have seen their favourite rappers do and say so they all talk about money, sex and weed but they miss the context behind it completely. The black community was held down, segregated, ignored and for all intents and purposes stopped from ever reaching success in the work place. Their community was sidelined to ghettos that were riddled with social issues like gang violence, addiction and disease all of which was ignored by the government only because of the Colour of their skin. Basically they were never given a shot to succeed. So when a rapper flexed his chain or his whip it broke barriers and sent a message that they weren’t going to be held down.
In India while most of the rappers speak about similar things their experiences differ from their idols greatly. So when someone like KRSNA, Calm or similar artists flex their wealth it always comes across as corny. While no one’s denying that they worked hard at their craft, they weren’t ever held down by the system. They represent a class of society that isn’t ostracised but rather encouraged to do well. This is not to say it always sounds tacky, it works great when someone like MC Stan flexes or when Siege challenges the status quo.

I started thinking about this scenario today and felt like sharing. My dad has no filter and no ability to sense how somebody feels so he always has to share how he plays hero and how I am stupid. I am adding a trigger warning to the title because some people cannot handle the mention of car accidents due to past tragedy and I 100% understand. See you on another post, friends.
Okay,
So when I was 15, almost 16, I got my sweet 16 vehicle early so I could start the school year fresh and basically flex. My ndad bought me a brand new car and I was so excited. Well, I wasn’t a licensed driver yet and he needed something brought to his location. Well, I was still a pretty inexperienced driver with about 1.5 years under my belt, I don’t know what I was thinking but I turned without paying attention and got t-boned really hard on my passenger side totaling my car. This man saw it happen and decided to swap me and say it was his fault (he didn’t want to go to prison and he didn’t want to have to drive me around for the next 5+ years because I lost my license.) Well, he got that figured out and got my car replaced. I actually haven’t been in an at fault wreck in almost 9 years now. That situation scared the living daylights out of me and I vowed to prioritize safety on the road.
Well, ndad thinks it’s fucking hilarious to bring up this car accident in front of me when he is telling somebody new and watch me get super triggered over how traumatic it was. He plays his whole “I’m a hero, you wouldn’t have had a license without me, I’m such a good father” schpiel and it pisses me off every time. To this day he will make comments toward me to drive safe and to remember 2014 and how I could have died. I was bruised up all over (collarbone, thigh, shin, foot, had signs of a concussion) but he did not want me to seek medical help. Though the other party was OK because they were in a large SUV, their child did slightly hop in their seat so they did have a bruise on their forehead. God I felt so horrible.
Yes, I’m grateful for him saving my ass but also I feel like I rarely had to face consequences because he was ready to play hero just to hold it over my head. As an adult I am way more careful in general doing anything. He is such a hypocrite, he constantly tells me about driving safely but he drives for a living, can’t put his cellphone down for the life of him because Facebook, messenger video and dating websites/texting hoors matters more to him. He drives 20-30 over the limit most of the time, has bad road rage, runs through lights and always has to take his car into the shop because he ruined his suspension or axle. He’s had an SR-22 because of how many tickets he’s had and he’s been in a ton of accidents in his life.
Any “nice” thing a narcissist does for you, they will ALWAYS hold it above your head for some reason pertaining to the future. They cannot genuinely be nice.

Never posted before. I am 28 years old, very new to this disease and terrified.
I’ve had endometriosis symptoms ever since I got my first period at 10, but I did not know anything about this disease until about 3 months ago. I was able to find a gynecologist who specializes in minimally invasive surgery, treating endometriosis, fibroids, and pelvic organ prolapse. She suspects endometriosis but wants to start with the least invasive options, as she says surgery comes with risks. Right now, she has started me on a combined birth control pill, a muscle relaxer to take as needed, a lidocaine gel, and referred me to a pelvic floor physical therapist. I will do whatever she suggests since I am desperate for relief - she told me I need to give everything a good three months to start seeing improvement since this has likely been impacting my body for decades and change won’t happen overnight. It’s been 15 days - I get small relief from the muscle relaxers but I’ve been taking them multiple times daily and I worry it’s not sustainable.
However, within the last 3 weeks, my pain is excruciating and worsens every single day. I’m scared I won’t be able to take much more. I can no longer move or stand for more than 15 minutes, I’m taking the muscle relaxers and 2,000-3,000 mg of Tylenol daily, on top of weed edibles. I am in so much pain that I can’t sleep - my body couldn’t until 4 am this morning. I was scared I would need to go to the hospital and I’ve never been to the ER in my life. My doctor is supporting me with a leave of absence from work since I can’t walk or drive hardly at all. I don’t understand how I’ve gotten to this point in a matter of weeks.
This community is helping to save my life - it is horrifying to know how many people are experiencing this.
Has anyone else experienced such a rapid progression? Is this just what a flare up feels like or is something else worsening? I am so scared. I was walking a month ago - I don’t know what is happening to me.
Thank you 🩷

I am currently on board Horizon de-embarking tomorrow in Miami. Last night after a day out we came back to our state room to find our sink backing up and brown! We left the room went to guest services, they seemed attentive and tried to remedy the situation. But when we returned to our room we found they had cleared the clog but left our bathroom with brown fluid on the floor and a pair of gloves with fluid on our carpet. I was furious!
I went back down stairs to go back to guest services where, “Tiffany” our guest services representative was completely unhelpful and down right unprofessional. After her apologizing and basically saying outside of cleaning the room there was nothing more they can do I asked to speak to a supervisor, she directed me to a back room where I was confronted with security!(which ended peacefully and with no issues at all, they escorted me to my room with a steward to check that my room had finally been cleaned)
This morning I get a phone message to meet guests services in the lobby where they opened an investigation into my case, around 11:45 I was instructed to return for a follow up where they told me “due to the fact security got involved Carnival can offer no further assistance in remediating the issue of last night. This is my girlfriends and my 7 cruise and have never experienced anything near this sort of issue.
After the way I we were treated last night and this morning I just want to leave, I feel disrespected, embarrassed, and completely heart broken. This has ruined our cruise and vacation.

Hello everyone!!
So I'm really new to Evernote (have had for a week). Love it so much, it's amazing. And the calendemeeting function is amazing.
Anyway, I'm looking for an Eink Tablet or Digital Notepad that syncs with Evernote (and crucially) lets me edit the text when it's imported into Evernote.
He say I'm writing a grocery list. I send it to Evernote and am able to add any items I forgot.
I'm also looking for a something that can digitize my handwriting. Thank you!!

Hey! I and a few friends are looking to start a bi-weekly game and were looking for anyone who would be interested in DMing. We have no system preferences. Are any DMs looking to start a game?
Player experience ranges from some experience to ForeverDM Who Just Wants to Play Once in a Decade (me). We're all fun, creative, and reliable players. We're also open to having more people at the table, but I don't want to "book" anyone until the DM gets a say.

Hi (: having friends over for movie night and to watch the finals but would love a little company - I’m still on the hunt for my Reddit soulmate and trying not to lose hope 🆘
About me: 5’7, green eyes, brown hair. I love laughing and smiling. I enjoy being active and busy but also enjoy staying in and bingeing tv shows and movie marathons. I’m obsessed with sports and am always watching or going to a game or beating my brother and his friends at fantasy football. I love animals, especially my geriatric pup. I am into wellness and yoga. Big Gryffindor energy. Basic things like makeup and mani pedis and The Bachelor and Taylor Swift make me very happy (:
About you: You have a big…heart and care about the world. You are passionate about your work. You love sports and want to go to lots of games together. You have a good sense of humor bc life is so laughable sometimes. You want to go on three mile walks with an old dog every day. You want a partner who is also a teammate and best friend. Hopefully you are a good conversationalist and say more than “hey” (:
So what are you waiting for?! I hope to hear from you soon.

i’m just gonna ramble on a little story if anyone wants to read it. looking back at my life just say a year ago it was so much better. so insanely better but i was so depressed i wasn’t grateful of what was right in front of me.
but since then a lot of shit has happened. my girlfriend and i broke up. shes my other half and we thought we were each others true love. we were together for so long and never fought, always loved each other, and just had a really wholesome healthy relationship. every day was fun with her. but i ruined it. i’m so narcissistic and i’m just realizing it more now. i’m a narcissist. i don’t even know if i truly think this way or maybe my mind just conditioned myself to feel this way in order to get attention. i unknowingly put so much stress on her. she was so scared i was going to kill myself or cut myself all the time. i would be so dissociative with her sometimes she would be crying there crying for me and id just stare into space. holy hell. the last month we were together i had to be sober for a drug test so i was so insanely miserable from not being able to smoke. i made her feel like i didn’t like her anymore. but towards the end of the month i feel like my withdrawals went away i felt really calm and optimistic. but then she expressed how she’s been feeling to me. i’m so sorry. i just want to go back and take advantage of the best years of my life. i think she’s trying to move on, but she also still loves me. she just has mixed feelings about me. i just hurt her feelings and made her feel unloved for too long.
well anyways im in therapy now, i got medicated for adhd and i’ve been drinking a lot of caffeine too and it’s been helping me. i don’t have as much self deprecating thoughts. well i mean i do for mistreating her. but i’m trying to be nice to myself. i kinda have been. definitely a lot of improvement. but my life fucking sucks. sucks so much fucking more than it did when i was the most suicidal. i just feel numb and games and food are the only thing that brings me joy but at least i have some joy doing stuff. i’m not suicidal now and i have been self harming. i’m just so filled with guilt. it eats away at me. the missed opportunity i had. the life we could’ve spent together. i miss her so much. if i had just been better. i was so close to finally achieving happiness.
i just want to go back. i need to go back. it was so much simpler. just a year ago i was in the prime of my life. sure i was depressed as shit but my happy times were so happy. i just wanna go back. i miss her so much i miss my love. i hate not knowing how she’s feeling i’m so worried about her. she has depression too and i just wanna be there for her. i wanna be better for her. i wish she got to date a happy version of me.
okay i’m done writing

I got pulled over today and issued a ticket for texting and driving. The thing is, the only reason my phone was in my hand is because I was skipping a song and not even looking down at it. I have a good idea of where the buttons are as I do it a lot. I know I shouldn’t plead guilty, but what should I say in court? Does it even matter that I wasn’t “texting”? I’m over 18 and this is my first ever ticket of any kind.

Plenty of people are upset and saying that they’re losing 195 coins when raid bosses flee.Is there any actual benefit to buying raid passes 1 at a time at a more expensive price as opposed to buying 2 remote raids and a star piece for example at 100 coins each?

I cannot for the life of me think of a reason why you'd really want to use this bizarre dream thing. It removes a couple scrolls (not a terribly huge deal it's only two of them) to give you the ability to grab inferior weapons than you otherwise would have, the exception being the inscriptions. And if you want the inscriptions, there aren't enough spots to realistically hold all the weapons you would want, you are capped at 1 of each weapon type (smg, combat rifle, etc) plus one more. So if you plan on using this, you are saying you will only ever really use one SMG for the future? What if you change your mind?
Additionally, when you can get them seems overly punishing. If it gets fixed so that you can access it at the end of Anxi, then this might change, because you can get a weapon that's starting out at what you want at that point. But as it is now, you won't get it until the boss of the Fjord, meaning you will be giving up the weapon you have built aroudn for three nearly full acts to get one that's marginally better?
Am I missing something here? What is the point of this thing? It just seems to me to be a small debuff to gain no real benefit. It doesn't even change how the game is played like the Spiritual Link and Interdependent Fortunes.

So I 17 Nb have an ex 18 F let’s call her C okay so C and I used to date this is important for later. When we dated it was fun at first but I was starting to see a more toxic and more scary side. I have a lot of mental problems but I didn’t want her to leave me so we kept breaking up and getting back together after a while we broke up for real and I was heart broken but we stayed friends. About a month ago we had a big party and she got drunk and kissed me I was very upset about this because she was my ex and I finally got over her. She acted cold to me after that which upset me because I still cared for her as a friend. We had a big fight after a week later there was another party and I was laying on the floor half passed out and she left me laying there. After that it just went down hill she got angry at me every day at school saying stuff about my childhood. Last week she was yelling at me telling me she was gonna beat me up I got upset but I went home because I didn’t want to ruin whatever friendship was left. But later she texted me telling me I was a piece of shit and I got angry I was done with being nice so I told her she needs to leave me the fuck alone and that I wished I never saw her again and that she went back to her home country so I would never have to see her face again. She made a screenshot and sent it to all my friends now I lost my hole friendgroup because they think I was being racist towards her (I am black she is from a sister country) I didn’t mean it like I want her to go back to her country because she was being a bitch. What should I do my friends hate me and I don’t want to be hated by my friends because I got angry what do you think I should do? I need y’all’s advice.

greetings to everyone! I am a 26 years old Colombian who just moved here in the US. Not my first time posting here. I was hoping I can find someone who can be my friend and I can vibe as well. I am a friendly person, funny at times and says whatever comes into my mind in other words a very straight forward person lol. I really don't have any preference when it comes to physical. For me a good attitude is more important than looks. you don't have to pretend, just be yourself and I'm sure we'll be as good friends we can be. Anyway I would appreciate it if ur older than me, not really a fan of talking to someone who is younger than me. I am looking forward to see you in my DM's :)

My gf and I have been in a very toxic relationship for 4 years. Initially I started dating her because I wanted something casual since she told me she fucked her cousin and I just don’t think someone who does this can be trusted. However overtime, she really fell for me and I wasn’t treating her that well. I kept insisting an open relationship but an honest one so if she has sex with other dudes she can tell me. After a while I said we can have an exclusive relationship. It is during this time she cheated on me with 2 different guys over the course of a year or so. I confronted the last guy she cheated on me with and found out she had sex with someone during our open relationship period but she didn’t tell me. According to my gf this guys is super nice to her and despite knowing everything that happened with my gf and I he still insists on marrying her. I felt very uncomfortable and an imbalance so I told her that she has to let me do something similar. We also went to relationship counselling and she promised she won’t see him again. After a while she agreed to give me free pass said it’s okay if I have sex with other girls as long as I let her know. She won’t do anything to hurt me or take revenge. While she’s on a trip, I hooked up with a person and told her afterwards about it. I thought she took it pretty well. However, it’s only untill recently I found out she has been cheating on me again with the guy who insists on marrying her. I told her about it and she said she wants to breakup, but she said she wants to talk in person. For the record she has been saying she wants to breakup with me every time we have a fight since the beginning so I don’t even know what she actually wants. We just graduated from bachelors but we got into the same masters program so we will be classmates. She has also crushed all my attempted relationships with other girls. As soon as she finds out I am going out with a girl she would reach out to the girl and ruin my chances. In my opinion someone who truly wants to breakup with me wouldn’t ruin my chances with others and also wouldn’t cheat on me so many times. And tries to hide it. Right now she doesn’t trust and feels insecure that I might leave her at anytime and I don’t trust that she can be faithful. Does she still love me? Do I try to salvage this relationship? I really do care and love her still. Idk how she feels about me.

Post is as the title states.
22M from the UK, just recently finished my final year in university and ever since then I’ve been finding it hard to not only get out of bed most days now that I don’t have a constant reason (I.e classes) but I’m also finding it difficult to even think about my future.
I went to counselling for a bit, and while there it helped me realise that a lot of my life, and choices throughout it, were made because it’s what other people around me expected or told me to - from pursuing higher education because everyone else was doing it, to picking certain topics because others said to. It’s not to say I regret doing those things, though my years spent at university weren’t all that great, I know a degree can be insanely helpful in job hunting - but that’s the stem of the issue.
Now that that’s finished, the decision of what to do next in my life is solely up to me, which is not only frightening - but the idea of spending the next forty or so years soullessly working for a company just sounds even more miserable and droll than what most days I have now already are.
All in all it’s just becoming increasingly difficult to think about my future at all - and on the bad days where my thoughts are muddled and I’m not thinking straight, I sometimes wonder if I should even have a future?
I’m just wondering if anyone else has found themselves in a similar situation, or if anyone has any advice - as I’ve tried speaking to others when I can, or even doing simple acts like going for a coffee or meeting with friends, but it’s starting to feel like I need to force myself to be happy more often than not.
